WANJU – A group of 29 diplomats and over 40 representatives from international organizations convened at LOGODI for its session in the "Good Governance Series in Korea" on May 11.

The one-hour briefing covered LOGODI's system of education and training for local government officials, capacity building programs for foreign officials, network building with training institutes in developing countries, and other areas of interest.

Envoys from Angola and Ethiopia expressed their enthusiasm over LOGODI's international programs as well as its network building initiatives, and pledged to internally communicate the information from the introduction. A broad set of questions was asked by the delegates, ranging from the mandate of the institute to the scope of its programs.
